This item, only available in earlier missions, increases the speed of the pilot's R-craft, up to five notches. The pilot must be careful about picking up too many of these items; though the speed increases, the craft becomes harder to control in cramped environments and there's no way to decrease speed. Most pilots find a balance with about two or three of these pickups.

This item was discontinued in R-Type Delta, wherein Speed is manually changed by the pilot, adjusting by notches between 1 (Slowest) and 4 (Fastest). This change has been permanent in every mission since.
